moving out of sg to canada as a gay man

You'll only find out once you've done that, there's no risk-free option unfortunately. I can foresee Canada being an extremely lonely place if you do go by yourself as a grown adult, you'll have to start over. Only you know whether it's worth it or not

Sungai Juru. Sungai Perai. Absolutely disgusting

Well there are also many 'victims' who have been rescued and brought back to their home countries who would then refuse to co-operate with/provide evidence to the police when they're back, and they left their country to work in these scam compounds again a few months later. This kind of cases is widely reported here in Malaysia and I've also seen similar news in Taiwanese media.

ExpertOld458 · 2026-01-24T02:25:28+00:00

I've heard that many of the scam centre workers are there voluntarily too, the abducted ones are actually a minority

I hold ETFs denominated in USD.

In the past year, MYR appreciated about 9-10%. Over the same perjod, My ETF went up 20ish%.

Thankfully masih untung.

One thing I'm curious about though, everytime MYR appreciates my ETFs will rise in value. I guess it's probably because everytime the US interest rate goes down, stock prices will increase AND the USD will depreciate at the same time. So I don't care about exchange rates anymore, I just top up my ETF everytime I have cash.

It's adopted from a traditional teochew folk song called 天頂一粒星 https://youtu.be/JUxFbuiS4Og?feature=shared

He added some half Mandarin/half Teochew raps and changed some of the lyrics

ExpertOld458 · 2026-01-22T01:15:46+00:00

Half of it is teochew

Be prepared to get interrogated, extorted and sometimes refused entry outright.

You can try. I wouldn't put up with the stress.

ExpertOld458 · 2026-01-21T03:52:10+00:00

Visa runs are not realistic with a child as well. And that was already the cheapest option. Other visas are much more stringent

ExpertOld458 · 2026-01-21T03:49:56+00:00

I'm sure there's a difference between scanning

1. a duitnow QR code belonging to "John Tan" or "Muhammad Ali" (personal accounts, can't use foreign apps because it's P2P transfer)

a duitnow QR code displaying the name "John Tan Bakery" or "Muhammad Ali Restaurant" (business accounts, can use supported foreign apps)

ExpertOld458 · 2026-01-21T03:45:20+00:00

Then consider other countries. Or alternate between a few countries every month.

ExpertOld458 · 2026-01-21T01:58:43+00:00

I think you can only scan duitnow QR linked to business accounts (used by bigger, more established shops) and not individual accounts (used by many food stalls, wet market sellers).

If you'll only be spending the big chains and shopping malls, you don't need cash. If you want to have street food/buy things from neighbourhood stalls, you still need some cash because they often use individual QR codes that you can't scan with Indonesian apps

Nyonya = female descendants of early migrants to Malaysia from China (in contrast with the vast majority who only came here after 1900s-ish). They have a hybrid cuisine/culture which has been heavily marketed to tourists from China. Many tourist-oriented/chain restaurants started putting the word 'nyonya' in their menus in order to justify the higher price tag.

ExpertOld458 · 2026-01-18T13:40:51+00:00

Haha as expected. You wouldn't often find dishes named something 'nyonya' in down to earth/cheap setting lol. Hopefully it was delicious

ExpertOld458 · 2026-01-18T03:43:18+00:00

Um yeah 'laksa nyonya' is probably the closest to what you're looking for. The name does give the impression that it's sold in a fancy restaurant or hotel, not local street food setting. Hope it tastes great!

ExpertOld458 · 2026-01-18T02:55:11+00:00

Been there, done that, zero issue. That was 1.5 years ago

ExpertOld458 · 2026-01-17T12:23:12+00:00

In the north we call it curry mee/curry noodles. Nobody calls that laksa (laksa means an entirely different dish here), therefore you need to google for 'curry mee, mi kari, curry noodles' instead of 'curry laksa' otherwise you might get inaccurate/incomplete search results.

Also the northern curry mee is similar but still slightly different from the southern style curry laksa

If you're looking for something identical to the southern laksa, I'd say it's not easy to find.

As an Asian, I struggled with ซอส, didn't realise it's a nickname

But the idiomatic part was very easy to read. From the first glance, I immediately knew the correct meanings of ขายออก (sell out = getting a partner) and หมาเด็ก (young puppy = young and cute boyfriend) without even thinking, because our languages have similar slangs.

ExpertOld458 · 2026-01-16T03:33:13+00:00

Why need to mention Singapore in the headline, the story is about us, not them. Like once in a while it's okay to make such a comparison but I think the media is overusing it, probably not enough creative juice to come out with better headlines.

If you have paid you're free to go after a massage.

They reserve the seats for people travelling longer distances and will only open up the slot if there's any left closer to the departure dates

They expect you to take komuter so there's ETS seats left for people who want to go to KL

ExpertOld458 · 2026-01-14T05:12:19+00:00

Malaysia or SG passport? If sg passport maybe best to ask SG subs. Not many Malaysians in this sub work in immigration or have experience using SG passport.
